fatty foods/sugary foods are highly addicting (almost like drugs in my opinion)

this is a "hot take" but selling a super extra large pepperoni pizza with extra everything and 50g of sugar per serving soda to go with it should almost be like, illegal the same way heroin/cocaine are (to protect ourselves, right?)

Unfortunately “protecting ourselves” against these drugs has terrible second-order effects (see war on drugs). Perhaps we should let people buy drugs and bad food but add taxes to cover the collective damage done by them.
